This Saturday, Palm Beach is going to have a restaurant presence in Jupiter in an idyllic spot for wining and dining.

Buccan and PB Catch will be preparing and serving alfresco some of their signature dishes at the 5th annual Friends of Jupiter Beach Food & Wine Festival, which this year features chefs and reps from more than 45 Palm Beach County restaurants (among those in West Palm Beach are Pistache French Bistro and Table 427), wine distributors, gourmet grocers and more.

The festival (www.fjbfoodandwine.org), 3-6 p.m., takes place at the Riverwalk Events Plaza (25 Coastal Way)—right under the Indiantown Road Bridge along the Jupiter Inlet.

Purchase tickets now for the event and you save money: Before May 16 at 5 p.m., general-admission tickets are $35 instead of $50 thereafter.

VIP tickets—$75—come with such perks as exclusive nibbles and wines, reserved parking near the festival, a Whole Foods Market shopping bag stuffed with gifts, and a private reserved seating area.

Tickets for children 12 and younger are $15 apiece. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome.

All of the proceeds from the festival benefit Friends of Jupiter Beach (www.friendsofjupiterbeach.com), which, founded in 1994, is a grassroots non-profit community-service organization that works to keep Jupiter Beach clean and dog-friendly.

Since 2006, the group’s monthly volunteer-driven beach-cleanups have collected a total of 45,000 pounds of garbage and recyclables.
